Gloucester Rugby are delighted to announce a new partnership with the official travel company of The British & Irish Lions - Lions Rugby Travel - who will create the ultimate Lions experience for fans in Australia next year.

Lions Rugby Travel will be in attendance at a number of games at Kingsholm over the coming months to provide our fans with a dedicated service to help you follow the greatest touring team in the world to Hong Kong and Australia next summer.

Their team will be on hand to present the tours to Gloucester's fans, offer advice and the best knowledge of Australia and the Lions.

Louise Lee, sales manager at Lions Rugby Travel, will be at the event and said:

"To be at Kingsholm for Gloucester's game against Leicester was to experience something very special - the sheer passion the supporters had for their team was incredible.

"To be working on behalf of such fanatical, knowledgeable supporters is fantastic for the Lions and we hope we can transmit that Gloucester passion into Lions passion next summer."

Gloucester's history with the Lions is strong and perhaps the club's most famous son - Mike Teague - is indelibly written into Lions history after his man of the series performance in 1989 Down Under.

A shrine to his achievements takes pride of place in his pub 'Teagues Bar', just a wayward Freddie Burns kick away from Kingsholm, and we have some great videos of Mike and legendary prop Phil Vickery to share with you.

If you would like to find out more about going on Tour, Louise and her team are on hand to help all Gloucester fans plan their perfect Lions Tour.
